I freeze them ahead of time, thaw (well, most grab before they are in thawed), I have not had an issue with them being soggy.

Hi Kimberly,
Sorry for the delay in responding – I do not recommend freezing the cupcakes with the filling as it can make the cupcakes somewhat soggy upon thawing. You can freeze both the cupcakes and the filling separately for up to a month without issue and then just fill the cupcakes up to 2-3 days before serving.

Hi Katherine, we don’t recommend any substitution for shortening as the fat content isn’t easily replicated by any other ingredient without altering the flavor. Lard or coconut oil will replace the fat and result in the same texture, but they will alter the flavor.

I want to know if they will hold up well as I need to make them ahead of time for an event.
Thanks!
